Federal Environmental Regulations

Federal environmental regulations are laws established by the government to protect the environment and public health. They set standards for air and water quality, limit pollution from industries, manage waste, and control the use of hazardous substances. Agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversee compliance, ensuring companies and individuals follow these rules. The goal is to prevent environmental damage, promote sustainable practices, and safeguard natural resources for current and future generations. These regulations balance economic activities with environmental responsibilities to maintain a healthy, safe environment.
